INTEL Core Ultra 5 225 Processor ( 4.9 GHz / 10 Core / 10 Threads )

The Intel Core Ultra 5 225 is a desktop processor built on Intel’s Arrow Lake platform, manufactured using TSMC’s N3B (3 nm) process node. It features a hybrid core architecture comprising 6 Performance-cores (P-cores) and 4 Efficient-cores (E-cores), totalling 10 cores and 10 threads. The P-cores reach a maximum turbo frequency of 4.9 GHz from a base of 3.3 GHz, while the E-cores boost up to 4.4 GHz from a base of 2.7 GHz. Cache resources include 20 MB of Intel Smart Cache (L3) and 22 MB of total L2 cache, helping to reduce latency for data-intensive tasks. On the power side, the processor operates at a base TDP (PL1) of 65 W, scaling to a maximum turbo power (PL2) of 121 W, with a maximum operating temperature of 105 °C. It seats in the LGA 1851 (FCLGA1851) socket and supports PCIe 5.0 and 4.0 with up to 24 lanes, DMI 4 with 8 lanes, and Thunderbolt 4. Memory support extends to dual-channel DDR5 at up to 6400 MT/s with a maximum capacity of 256 GB. The integrated Intel Graphics engine features 2 Xe-cores running from a base of 300 MHz up to 1.8 GHz. It supports up to 4 simultaneous displays, DirectX 12, OpenGL 4.5, OpenCL 3.0, Intel Quick Sync Video, and resolutions up to 8K @ 60 Hz over DisplayPort 2.1 or HDMI 2.1 FRL. A dedicated Intel AI Boost NPU delivers 13 TOPS (Int8) for device AI inference, enabling Windows Studio Effects and supporting frameworks including OpenVINO, WindowsML, DirectML, ONNX Runtime, and WebNN. Intel Deep Learning Boost is available on both the CPU and integrated GPU cores. Security features include AES-NI, Intel Boot Guard, OS Guard, Control-Flow Enforcement Technology, Trusted Execution Technology, VT-x, VT-d, and Execute Disable Bit. Intel Thread Director, Speed Shift Technology, and Enhanced SpeedStep round out the power-management stack. The processor carries a 3-year limited warranty.
